DIGITAL THYRISTOR SCR POWER CONTROLLERS
16 TO 1500 A
THYRO-AX®
Thyro-AX®
Digital thyristor SCR power controllers
With numerous new performance features, flexible and reliable handling,
and an integrated touch display, the Thyro-AX® SCR power controller
delivers the superior performance standards of Advanced Energy®’s
Thyro-Family products.
Thyro-AX® products precisely and reliably control power in
a range of industrial processes requiring heating, melting,
forming, or drying.
APPLICATIONS
Automotive (paint drying equipment)
Chemical (pipe trace heaters, pre-heating equipment)
Crystal growing (sapphire, silicon)
Furnace construction (industrial, diffusion, drying ovens)
Glass (plate glass equipment, feeders, finishing equipment)
Machine building (extruders, plastic presses)
Packaging (shrink tunnels)
Printing machines (IR drying)
WIDE PERFORMANCE SCOPE
The Thyro-AX series supports voltages from 24 to 600 V
and currents from 16 to 1500 A, and offers single, dual, and
three-phase units. With flexible connection technology, the
power controller can be connected from below and/or from
above.
ADVANCED COMMUNICATION AND CONTROL
The full graphic touch display enables intuitive operation
and offers advanced visualization and parameterization
options. It displays set points, actual values, operating
modes, and other parameters in plain text, and also indicates
operating mode with background lighting.
In addition to standard interfaces, Thyro-AX modules offer
Ethernet and USB 2.0. Parameterization via USB 2.0 is
possible without external supply.
For communication with higher control systems, bus
modules are available for protocols such as DeviceNet
TM
,
Modbus® RTU, PROFIBUS®, and CANopen®, as well as
for TCP/IP based communication, including PROFINET®,
Modbus® TCP, and EtherNet/IP®.
MAINS LOAD OPTIMIZATION
Intelligent technologies compensate for system
perturbations and reduce costs.
STANDARD
›
Internal mains load optimization for up to 12 power
controllers
OPTIONAL
›
Thyro-Power Manager
›
dASM bus module
HIGH EFFICIENCY
The high efficiency of entire Thyro-Family offers ongoing
energy savings.
